Onboarding volunteers

• Use our Onboarding game

• Have Welcome meetings

• Regular check-ins during the first time

• oIcoffee/meeting/bonding time with the “leader” of the circle they are working in → it’s their closest tie with the rest of the oI team and having a close relationship with them can be very valuable.

Make them a team member! We have the best experiences with volunteers if they become real members of your (sub-)circle. That’s more effort in the beginning - and pays off rather soon!
